    More 3 shot group fun!

    Some time ago I bought a Bradley made 308 heavy target profile barrel off a forumite who I think shoots mainly F Class. Anyhoo this barrel didn't make the cut although his 3 shot groups didn't look too bad - certainly sub MOA at about 0.65" at 100 if I recall correctly. It's Savage threaded and since I had some Savage bits lying about (ex @Padox haha) it finally got put on a rifle.

    Bought a packet of Hornardy 155 ELDMs. Set them up in some Lapua cases with the old standby of 46.0gn of 2208 (I made a few test rounds up to work up - just in case) This load delivered 2940 fps, so fairly snotty even from a 30" barrel.

    I shot my normal 10 shot group at 100M, then moved back to the 300Y (274M) and shot the following 3 shot group for validation ( was 3 cause that's all I had left). Not too shabby eh - measures 19mm centre to centre?

    Now just for shits and giggles I dare ya's to guess the size of the 100M 10 shot group . . .
